How to List Files within Subfolders in LabVIEW

In LabVIEW, we can list all the files in a folder using the list folder.vi function. But, if we want to list all files including files in subfolders, should we use this function on each subfolder?

In fact, we can use only one VI that shipped with LabVIEW since version 7.0 to get this job done. The VI is vi.lib\utility\libraryn.llb\Recursive File List.vi. And this VI has been added to the palettes since LabVIEW version 8.2.
